We met with the surgeons yesterday and they they told us the risks and the percentages of success, death, stroke, leaking valves and so one. Which by the way is a success rate in the high 90s. I asked them about bringing in a plastic surgeon to close up Caius' chest so it wouldn't have that huge bump in it but they didn't really think that was good idea. They said he should finish growing before we look at plastic surgery. When we were leaving they called us into their office to show us CT scans of Cai's chest. His heart was HUGE!!! There wasn't any extra space in his chest cavity. The surgeon said he wanted to show us so that we wouldn't think he was BSing us. I said "we would never" in a sarcastic tone. We had a good laugh.
They said Caius looked great and that we could wait as late as September to do the repair. They also said they appreciated us coming prepared with a list of questions. They told us to go home and think about it. Josh said that we have thought about it for 8 months and we are ready to have it behind us!!
Please pray for Gods timing on the surgery.
